Didn't they switch to a license with stronger mechanisms to keep the source available? SSPL, is basically AGPL but have even stronger protection from large corperations to use the code in their data centers without contributing the changes back. This is basically a move to prevent AWS/Google/Microsoft/et al, from leaching on the contributors work without giving anything back.

Or am I reading this wrong?

EDIT: Note, that the Mastodon account is to an AWS employee.... so for him, this might be bad, since it no longer allows them to have their own internal fork without contributing back. Now, they will need to use a real for and maintain that them selves without leaching on the redis contributors.

If you think this is bad, then you should make sure to use copyleft licenses.

EDIT: Just read the details, and it seems that this is just what they did. SSPL is like AGPL with a stronger SAAS is distribution claus. That might not be valid, according to the OpenSource definition, but unless you are planning to modify the code and provide it as SAAS I think this is no a problem.

So the story here is: A Russian asset tells a Russian narrative?

I have been a vim user for more than 20 years. I tried to quit for a couple of years, but now I have just accepted my faith.

For Linux it is a huge difference. AMD and Intel have great open source drivers, while Nvidia have binary drivers with a lot of issues.

I'm free to choose any laptop I want for work. This means, that for me, the GPU and other processors are free. It turns out that I still avoid Nvidia like the plague. I don't care if it is free, if the drivers are horrible.

Exactly. I appreciate the "What’s Gleam" section, but I would also like to see a "Why Gleam?" section.

7.13% walltime, that is quite good. Nice to see these kind of updates.

The hostility towards custom ROM in general, is what forced me to root. Initially I used LineageOs without root. However, that got me in to issues with various apps, due to not passing safety net. So now I use magisk to hide that I use a custom ROM. So, they basically forced me to root.

Yes, the new functions returns an LocalResult that is like an Option, so that didn't fail as spectacular 😃

But is the desktop really the most relevant measurement? Wouldn't it be more relevant to talk about "primary" devices? When I grew up, the desktop was what people used to connect with Internet and everything that comes with that. Hence, Linux on the desktop seemed to be relevant. Now, that is still relevant in relation to work and gaming, but for general use people use other devices. So instead of "on the desktop" I think we should talk about "for work", "for gaming" and "for programming".

That is wezterm which have builtin Nerd Font fallback, and I actually think WezTerm renders it to wide to fit it better with other fonts. But the rest of the font is JetBrains Mono

 

Always interesting to hear experiences from larger projects. It addresses the myth about Rust slowing down development (TL;DR: it doesn't), and a bit about async and scientific rust.

 

I found this page, and thought it might be worth sharing. It helped me find AreWe* pages I didn't know existed, like https://areweideyet.com/ to get an indication about the state of IDEs for rust.
